It is still a single finding. Intereseting. Worth reconsidering theory, but also not something to be taken as gospel just yet.
Really, we'd need to do cross examination of other moon rocks to see if they too are younger. And even then you'd have a relatively small sample set unless you actually go back and do a larger geographic survey of the moon taking samples from a variety of locations on and under its surface around many coordinates.
It isn't the only or even the major reason they don't want to move.
Really the biggest reason is sheer inertia. Knowing MS Office in HR is synonymous for knowing how to use word processing and spreadsheets. The thought that there might be an alternative never even occurs to those who would be responsible to make the decision to switch in most businesses.
And this means that if anyone actually succeeds in making a usable airbag/spring system/jet system to do this then they will have to pay Jeff Bezos for the idea even if JB wasn't involved at all.
You are confusing "News Reporters" with "Journalist."
The latter profession is to inform and investigate.
The former is to entertain and engage.
Journalism has nearly always been a losing proposition for actually bringing in profits without some form of government subsidy (such as using private presses to print public documents, or requiring some journalism to be done by private concerns in order to rent parts of the e/m spectrum).
We happily are a capitalist society in a way our founders wanted (as long as you don't pay too much attention to what they actually said), and thus the blight of journalism is dying and will soon be completely eradicated from this great land.
No. It will see wide spread adoption because the power of the transmitter would be cost exorbitant to most small concerns. Thus it will be sold by large businesses as another wireless internet option.
As tech gets smaller that is what is going to happen. Small items get sandwiched together so tightly that it becomes difficult to separate them without the use a a good lab.
There again this trend is encouraged by certain manufacturers to create planned obsolescence.
Wanna keep free? Learn how to make stuff and give them some competition.
Indeed. With the US and other capitalist nations the amount of time served for stealing funds is inversely related to the amount of funds stolen. If you steal enough you are lauded for your performance.
Except private companies don't have to do it "right". They just have to do it good enough to get paid, which is much less, and will do no more than that. If doing it good enough means destroying the environment, or someone's health and well-fare so be it.
Riiight... Modern medicine is all just a big conspiracy...
Granted there is some abuse but no there is no great conspiracy against Alternative medicines. Bribery can only cover a drug's flaws for so long eventually doctors and patients notice that it doesn't work or that side effects keep coming up.
What we are talking about here for so-called "Alt-Med" or any other form of your standard quackery, are treatments that have already been dis-proven repeatedly in the literature with studies that include little things like double-blind set-ups and large sample sizes.
Because that money has ALREADY been spent on so called "Alt-Med" and the results disproved it.
In-fact your wording is that the money will go to "prove" it meaning that the money wouldn't go to science at all. Scientific research isn't spent to prove anything. It is spent to test hypothesis.
Spending money to prove quackery (aka alt-med) is spending money for advertising and propaganda not science.
Of course since TOS can be changed often at and time and with little to no notice...
There really aught to be a good set of rules as to what shrink-wrap and click-through documents can get an individual to agree to and what they cannot. A good standardized outline of what is required to give consent online and having greater requirements for items of greater importance.
I would call it a win, but not just to screw Oracle.
Patents and copyright need to be limited to narrow and specific terms and need to be lost over time. Otherwise big companies like Oracle simply gather IP and rest on their laurels giving more work to their legal than their research department. The point of IP law is to encourage research. Thus the guaranteeing of unique opportunity to profit from invention and creation is a good idea. Though of note that the guarantee is a monopoly on the opportunity to profit only not the profit itself.

Often not.

Hey I first read the title as "Scientists Modify Orgasm With Artificial Amino Acid.
How disappointed am I?
How about holding that income protection for a term so that the artist who created it will be long dead before it expires?
How exactly does that encourage the artist or the artist's heirs to produce?
The trajectory depends on how hard it hits and at what angle as well as how fast it was moving away to begin with.
Until I see the numbers run in some reasonably good simulations I'm not saying anything.
They already did that. They could make him a transsexual.
Spidertran!

Indeed. Tha'ts exactly what is said in all the movies and literature put out by the over-powering force.
Perhaps. Though why would they put that in their contract?
Its capitalism at work. I
Aye. Who needs a court victory when you can just make the cost too much before even getting to the courtroom.

You know if you want something sexy looking you could just glass in a room of sweet looking empty boxes with some leds and fans for a lot less.

Right voluntarily choose.
Just like the power company, phone, Walmart.
As Corps get more power they remove the choices you have.
Why is an agency motivated by profit less suspect than one motivated by political power?
You know it is healthy to be suspicious of anything being the solution. Private or public.
I find a mix is the best way to go often enough.

Indeed. Though also remember about a third of that stimulus was in tax cuts.
For you or me this doesn't matter but for those that want to superpowers it is really important.
